He slammed his players for showboating in last stages of the clash at the Orlando Stadium, calling it “a circus”, and the fact they gave up a late goal to Magesi defender Johnny Mokone.
“My big disappointment was the last 15 minute and it's the first time I will address that. If we want to be more ambitious, if we want to go forward, we have to stop this nonsense of playing a sterile position and to enjoy playing small passes,” he said.
“I think if we want to do this, we have to go to the circus. I'm not here to go to the circus or to play circus (football). I'm here to improve my players, to go forward, and we have to stop this nonsense, because at the end, we conceded a goal, and the target was not to concede but to finish with the clean sheet.
“So I think we have to improve on that if we want to be more ambitious.”
Ouaddou said goals were the most important thing in the game not entertaining, even if South African fans enjoyed showboating.
“I'm respecting a lot of culture, the traditions, I've come to a fantastic country. It's a land of football, South Africa,” he added.
“But we have to find the right balance. It's okay because it's a cup game. But in the league, every goal is very important, especially at the end (of the season).
“I was a football player as well. And I like the show. But you must go forward and to finish the action. If you stay in the same position, in the same place, and make 30 passes in five square metres … that’s not interesting.”
The coach’s overall analysis of the game was positive, however, as Tshepang Moremi and Evidence Evidence Makgopa had Pirates 2-0 up with second half goals.
“We started with the high intensity we wanted, to put pressure on the opponent to try to score early,” Ouaddou said.
“I think the boys did a fantastic game in terms of what we wanted to execute today. We managed to create a lot of chances. I think that by half time, we could have led with five goals.
"So it's a positive point. I'd like to congratulate my boys for that. It was important to take this victory and to go through the next stage.”
